Adventures of an Awesome Mom is hosting Pediatric Grand Rounds today. She did a fantastic job, and I especially appreciate her words about Dr. Robert Lindeman, a pediatrician we’d all be happy to take our children to. I have to say, I’m in awe of this mom. She deals withÂ difficulties ...

This morning, I got quite a commentÂ onÂ the PGR 2.3. Flea has been unmasked in a newspaper. I was floored.Â Then I got angry. Not at Flea, but at the plaintiff’s lawyer.Â What a spinÂ chick. This is why so many of us hate litigation lawyers.Â TheyÂ get gain by harming people.Â Of course, this makes themÂ the ...

In the comments section of Sarabeth asked: But, Ami, doesnâ€™t it (secularism) have to seep into our private lives in order for our children to become non-judgmental about othersâ€™ beliefs? No.Â We shouldÂ love and respect others, no matter their beliefs, but I donâ€™t think we should be â€˜non-judgmentalâ€™ about their beliefs. ...

I’ve been very busy of late. I didn’t have time to check my bloglines, and when I did I found Flea had written a post about PGR and themes. His words (still had them through bloglines): Now, Flea doesn’t much care for “Theme Rounds”. His problem boils down to a ...

Glad to announce Pediatric Grand Rounds being up at the Wait and the Wonder from Moreena. Quaking in my boots about the next go around, to be held here in this very place. I’ve decided to give this one a casual topic. Casual, because I certainly won’t keep anyone out ...
